Pepe's Water Park, Hair Extensions for 5 Year Olds & The Courtroom TV Aesthetic

This week, Sonia and Jess are officially operating on zero sleep, total brain rot, and whatever energy is left in their luteal phase. Between going to bed at 7:30 PM like senior citizens, blaming the full moon for their total lack of willpower, and managing mother-in-law location-tracking, the girls are one minor inconvenience away from an absolute breakdown. Sonia talks through the extreme logistics of trick-or-treating around a twin pregnancy and why cheap, scratchy costume wigs are a personal insult to high fashion (spoiler: her toddler is getting clip-ins, obviously). Meanwhile, Jess opens up about the hilarious, unglamorous realities of potty training a toddler boy, coming to terms with the constant cleaning, and realizing that heavy-duty Clorox wipes are now her most prized possession. Then, the hyperfixation takes over. The girls spill on their full-blown obsession with Lindsay Clancy verdict live streams, debating courtroom news anchors, admitting that the Massachusetts state seal was officially part of their living room decor, and questioning why the entire internet is living strictly in the headlines. Finally, they tackle the chaotic energy of back-to-school season: from early morning vitamin hacks to save your child’s mood, to the sheer, unhinged elegance of sending a 5 year old to kindergarten with macaroni and cheese served hot out of a Yeti tumbler.

What we're reaching for: 🍋  Sati Soda’s lemon-lime blend is one of those things that just makes our routine feel more elevated without trying too hard. It has this really calming, clear energy from the CBD and adaptogens like lion’s mane and ashwagandha, so we feel relaxed but still present. 🤍 A space for women fully in it—IVF, pregnancy after loss, high-anxiety pregnancies—the emotional roller coaster no one warned us about. It’s everything the “just relax” crowd doesn’t understand. 🧳  The packing cubes that make life feel curated and calm—with everything tucked into its spot, we’re actually able to see what we packed, and suddenly the whole day vibes… a touch more peaceful and under control. 🌿  We’ve been using these and the difference in our face and ankle swelling is actually noticeable. It’s this blend of herbal ingredients that supports lymphatic drainage and helps your body move things along (which, honestly, we all need), and somehow it just works. 🍷 When we wanted something to take the edge off without drinking—whether it was preconception, during any trimester, or honestly through this whole motherhood journey—we’ve reached for a calmer, cleaner option. This tincture was the one that worked. 🍊 Feeling bloated and just... off lately? Same. This is one of those tiny daily things that actually makes a difference—just a few drops and you feel like you’re at least trying to have your life together. We use it, our kids use it, and it’s officially part of the routine. 👖 Fertility hormones and bloating are literally the worst—getting dressed some days feels like your own body is sabotaging your vibe. So here’s our comfort-first guide to what actually feels good during fertility treatments—because if you’re already injecting hormones, the absolute bare minimum is pants that aren’t emotionally aggressive.
